Life in EMS

Life in EMS is very fun and sad you see so many people come and go in this life. People that don't do this have no ideal. I think we all that Volunteer and work Full time of any Service needs a pat on the back, we all no we are under paid and hardly ever thanked but we do it because we care about the people we know in our community and the total strangers we don't know.So to all that do this work rock on, and stay safe.

clever lady or not you tell me.....

A little old lady is walking down the street, dragging two plastic garbage bags, one in each hand. There's a hole in one of the bags, and once in a while a $20 bill flies out of it onto the pavement.

Noticing this, a policeman stops her. "Ma'am, there are $20 bills falling out of that bag..."

"Damn!" says the little old lady. "I'd better go back and…

Some nice work in Beantown!!!

So my good friend Brian (aka. Big Perm) got his first job on Monday. He got out of drill school back in August and was assigned to one of the busiest engine companies in the city (E-52) Unfortunatly he ran smack into a serious drought as far as fires are concerned. That came to an end when he rolled in fist due to a well involved triple deckah' (that's a 3 story house to all you non Bostonians) with children trapped. The lads were able to make two spectacular grabs. Very inpressive!!! There…

A Call To Remember

Last Thursday November 8 started out like any old thursday's did in the past. At the end of the day it would be a day to remember for everyone. I got up around 8:30 am and went to my doctor's appointment. While I was listening to my doctor my pager went off and then it went off again. I thought it was an automatic alarm and the second page was a cancel. Boy was I wrong. The second page was for more man power for a working two family house and it was fully involved on arrivual. I was on the… Continue

Older you get

Why is it so hard to find a date or get to know women the older you get the harder it seems to be. Not sure how to approach the women my age because they have all had a bad relationship and it seems that everything you do is compared to their last relationship. What do you do is those cases. would like to find someone that just wants to hang out together and then see where things may lead. Not just jump into a relationship. I feel that you have to get to learn about each other… Continue

EMS and responsibilities to act

EMS in my county is taking a beating for being first on the scene of a car in the water and not going in after a screaming victim. they are getting slammed by the citizens (none of which attempted a rescue of their own) saying that EMS has a responsibility to act...EMS adm. and I say that they did right by not acting since they were NOT trained to do water rescue...i believe in the first rule of rescue...."dont become a victim", but the rush to judgement continues. i am behind them 100% if you… Continue

Preachin' to the Choir

When's the last time that you threw a ladder?

Do you know the difference between a dog and a pawl? Do you give a rip that there are "dissipative ladders" and the fire service doesn't use them? Extension, roof, hook, fixed, Bangor. It sounds like a Billy Joel song. But can we rely on the Aerial to save us everytime?

Today the "truck" was 15 minutes away and we put up…
